A new study highlights the connection between seemingly unconnected policies and the Golden Stateʼs demand for oil.

SAN FRANCISCO — California policies that have seemingly little to no connection to petroleum use actually provide incentives that drive demand for oil use artificially high in the state.

California is a leader on the renewable energy front: utilities are well on their way to meeting the 33 percent RPS mandate, rooftop solar power is growing like crazy, and there are big desires to electrify transportation via High Speed Rail.

California policies that have that at first glance seem to have little to no connection to petroleum use actually provide incentives that drive demand for oil use artificially high in the state, according to a new report from the nonprofit, nonpartisan group Next 10.

California's budget conference committee is now working to reconcile the House and Senate approved versions of the California budget.

Next 10 is launching a new, interactive online game called the California Carbon Challenge to engage and inform people who are trying to better understand the challenges and opportunities for reducing emissions.

Next 10, a nonprofit research group, has put together an interactive app that presents users with about two dozen ways to cut down carbon emissions in California and shows just how those changes impact the environment.

Next10, which develops online tools that help people gain a deeper understanding of complex issues, has released the California Carbon Challenge.
